Energy Systems

The Dynamic Energy Systems Laboratory at the Rochester Institute of Technology is motivated by the current need to provide cleaner, renewable, and more efficient electric power to mitigate the harm that fossil fuels have on the environment. We are investigating the integration and management of renewable sources and energy storage to the utility grid and microgrid networks through the use of power electronics and control. Moreover, optimization and robust control techniques are being investigated to optimally operate these electric networks and increase their stability margins.
